Additional to classical references management tools Citavi offers functions for knowledge organisation and task planning. An online search feature allows you to search databases and catalogues from within the programme.

When using "Find full text" search, after having added the above mentioned link, you will be asked if you wish to "Log in to https://eacces.ub.tum.de/login". To search for licensed full texts, log in with your TUM ID (TUM e-mail adress + password) and click LogIn. You can then close the login window.Please remember that there is no guarantee you will be able to find all the scientific articles licensed by TUM. In addition, the search would take considerably longer.
